Not to be confused with The Shark of Kuwait, Sharks of Kuwait is a 22 minute long documentary by AlJazeera English.
Fifty years ago, the Arabian Gulf was full of sharks. Witness joins an expedition to find out how many have survived years of ecological damage.

Thanks for posting – very informative – hopefully conservation awareness will grow!
Like everything else in Kuwait. No one cares. It’s very sad that the environment is on the bottom of everyone’s list.
So what’s new at the Avenues ?
sharks VS Avenues ?
who will win ?
omG! i dont give shit ! both suck !
there is an urban legend that baby sharks have the same power as viagra
ALJAZEERA CHANNEL ALWAYS OFFENSE THE KUWAITIS!!!
WTF!!!!!
Did you interview the guy who jogs no matter what time/weather it is yet?
Sharks have been around for millions of years and will continue to exist,but oil will not.
Very sad. Unfortunately nobody in Kuwait gives a damn about anything. If there was any kind of awareness as to how bad things are, everyone would be incredibly depressed.
I love how this is supposed to be an informative documentary with shark experts involved, yet the narrator cant even name the right shark species (19:20) in the kuwait aquarium :p
not all people do things like that to the sea.. some people catch fish that they eat and release the others back.. and problem is that damn fish traders who send boats with a crew of 11 or 12 with big ass nets and catch everything out there.
I fear sharks..thinking about them makes me so scared :$
Its so sad :(
ba7arna kilaa chim!!!!!!
Aljazeera never tires to capture the positive aspects in Kuwait. I wonder if Sharks still exist in Qatar?!
There is a place called jisser el zour or something, people catch damn big sharks there…(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oLC-X5wkLY) Imagine how big this damn shark is!!

Well said. Al-Jazeera has been trashing Kuwait for over a decade now. So unprofessional on their part. I would love to see Al-Jazeera refers to the slightest negativity in Qatar, but they won’t.
Alwatan TV was right to trash Qatar. Who trashes Kuwait deserves the same.
Sharks are not my thing , I love watching them but with distance. And protection!
Stupid Fisherman Killing all sharks
Theyre animals, who cares
they came to kuwait in may 2008 (during sarrayat) one of the directors was lebanese and her name was zaina abul hosn. during one of the shootings they came across (i think) the worst sarraya i have ever seen. its very interesting to know that in kuwait you have several species of sharks and some are killers such as bull and tiger sharks. i guess they finally finished it.
also to add that its not aljazeera but a british production company that produced it.
